The chapter on health services describes areas where public health has provided input including:
- An analysis of lengths of hospital stay across acute hospitals in Lanarkshire
- The reshaping of rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury to a community-based model which increases service capacity and addresses unmet need
- The implementation of the Scottish dementia strategy
- The health needs assessment of Gypsies/Travellers which identifies the health needs and priorities for this marginalised population.
